Chapter 361 The Great Princess of the Human Kingdom
In the eyes of other creatures on the main material plane, humans are a very strange race.
Their traces can be found everywhere, and active human presence can be seen in every mixed-race city.
Like all short-lived species, humans are impatient in everything they do during their limited lifespan, and they burst with great energy all the time.
This is incomprehensible to the immortal species, which can spend a year or two just to prune a flower bed.
At the same time, human political forms are also very strange.
Even in the human capital, one can see a large number of dwarves and other hybrid species, holding key positions that can influence the direction of the kingdom.
To the conservative elves or orcs, this means placing the lifeblood of their own race into the hands of other foreign races.
But humans themselves don’t see it that way.
For humans who like to live together and especially like to reproduce together, their political system is almost perfect.
Love, tolerance, and acceptance of everything.
This made the human kingdom once again the world's number one after the Mage Empire of Istar, and its development was extremely rapid.
Of course, this is closely related to the fact that humans have a fertility rate second only to orcs and halflings.
The expansion of population, especially the expansion of hybrid species, allows the faith in gods believed by humans to grow faster.
And these powers of faith are transformed into divine power and distributed to human clergy.
Therefore, all the strange gods in the Third Age are beneficiaries of the human population dividend, such as the not-so-smart Laer, or the strange-looking Lovita.
In terms of the number of believers, the number of followers of Laer and Laovita is almost exceeding that of the former orc god Gruumsh;
However, the power of faith that the gods gain is not only determined by quantity, but also by quality.
Obviously, humans' attitude towards gods and beliefs is much more ambiguous than that of other races.
Currently, most of the unbelievers are humans, or a hybrid of humans and other races.
The full name of the Human Kingdom is the Third Human Holy Empire.
Why is it the third? That is because human historians call Ishtar, which has nothing to do with themselves, the First Empire.
At the beginning of the Third Age, the human kingdom, which was still in a nomadic state but gave birth to powerful gods such as Tyr, was called the Second Empire.
The Third Reich is, naturally, the present human kingdom where many gods coexist and universal love is embraced.
Although in Ivin's opinion, this loose political form with unclear centralization should be called a federation.
In order to follow and emulate the model of the first two rounds of human empires, the Third Reich retained the existence of the royal family and monarch.
It is somewhat similar to the constitutional monarchy on Blue Star:
The royal family formulates the constitution, and then the parliament sets the operating rules of each sector based on the constitution. As for whether the constitution will be formulated only in its name, it is unknown.
And the power of the royal family itself is not completely useless.
It is said that the human royal family controls the most powerful war force in the entire human race.
On several occasions when foreign wars were at a stalemate, members of the human royal family would step in and end the war with a power that was far beyond the legendary level and had unreasonable combat power.
To put it simply, the human royal family is the gold medal fighter of the entire race.
And this is why Shuman respects the other party so much.
Are you kidding? How can a wizard who is not more than high-level and has no reputation have the courage to provoke the human royal family that can crush legends...
She is also the eldest princess who is said to have an eccentric personality and the eldest daughter of the current king.
Facing this eldest princess who was estimated to be around twenty-five or twenty-six years old but looked like this more than a decade ago, Xuman behaved very well and sensibly.
More than ten years ago, he had the honor of meeting this beautiful older sister at a party.
I didn’t expect that more than ten years have passed and this older sister’s hairstyle hasn’t even changed.
"Your Highness, Princess, have you come to this small town on the northern border for any important instructions?"
Serving the other party a cup of black tea personally, Xuman asked Isa to hide in the inner courtyard of the City Lord's Mansion in advance, so as to prevent the blood from the abyss from causing displeasure to the eldest princess.
During the time when Alvin went to Nield to make trouble, he learned from the nobles of the royal capital who came to patrol that a member of the royal family would visit soon.
But Xiuman didn't expect that the person who would visit Huiyao City would be this person.
"Xiu Man, why have you become so reserved?
I remember the last time I met you, you were fearless enough to come and lift my skirt.
I had to change into men’s clothes this time…”
"Ahem. Hey... I was too young and ignorant back then..."
Xiuman rubbed his hands with embarrassment on his face, his eyes evasive.
After playing a prank with great interest, Her Royal Highness the Princess, who had brought great pressure to Xuman Huiyao, seemed to have had enough.
She put down the teacup in her hand and tapped her fingers lightly on the table twice.
"Okay, let's get down to business.
I remember that in your city, there was an ancient noble family that had been passed down for a long time.
I need to meet the current title holder of their family."
"Your Highness, there are more than a dozen noble families that have survived from the time Huiyao City was built to the present day. Which one are you referring to?"
Keeping his tone as respectful as possible, Xiuman sat upright, fearing that he might neglect the person in front of him.
“Hmm…there are still so many?
Who was the longest one? "
"Nollyhughes——"
As soon as Xiuman opened his mouth, he regretted it.
Although he didn't know what the ancient nobleman in front of him was going to do, Alvin was his childhood friend after all.
If the princess came here to cause trouble, Xiuman still felt that he had an obligation to cover up for Ivan.
"But last year, his title was stripped by the City Hall and the Inquisition."
Although he didn't know if it would be useful, Xiuman still added a sentence.
“Oh? Nolihues?
This is a bit difficult... but it doesn't matter.
Then send someone to ask their master to come to me."
Xiuman was stunned for a moment.
He thought the other party didn't hear his addition clearly, so he boldly said it again.
"Your Highness, Sir Norrisius has been stripped of his title and expelled because he blasphemed a goddess."
After hearing these words, the expression on the face of the human royal princess did not change.
But the tone that followed changed from being gentle enough to touch the soul to being extremely cold.
"Lord Xiuman, didn't you understand what I said?
Send for their master to come to me;
Or you can just tell me where to find the exiled Lord Nolihus."
